The Paschal feast had been prepared, and with his friends he freely shared. 2 Before he suffered, he desired to show us all what love required. The honored teacher left his seat and knelt to wash his servant’s feet. 3 Such gentle kindness did he show with towel and basin, stooping low! When all were washed, he stood to ask that they repeat this humble task. 4 “If I have done this unto you, you ought to serve each other, too. And if my servants you would be, obey my word and follow me.” Scripture: John 13:1-30 Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM OLD Text Sources: A Selection of Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs (Mennonite, USA), 1847, alt.

And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, when thou comest and callest for me. Scripture: Matthew 8:20 Used With Tune: MARGARET
